You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 382

"Boy, who do you think is the most good-looking here?" Lucas asked teasingly.

Joel immediately answered without hesitation, "My daddy!"

"Who's next, then?" Lucas asked again.

"Aldo!" Joel replied brightly.

"Who's the third?" Lucas pressed.

Joel's eyes flickered, and he swept his gaze past all the faces. "Uh… everyone is beautiful! Everyone possesses their own beauty and charm. Each has its own merits and is evenly matched!"

Lucas burst into laughter, and Joel blinked his large eyes, giving him a lost look.

"Beauty is usually used to describe a woman," Quincy explained.

"Oh…" Joel blinked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it on purpose…"

"That's fine." A laughing Lucas picked him up in his arms and pecked him. "Why are you so adorable, boy?"

"Because my daddy is handsome, and my mommy is pretty!" Joel answered innocently. "Daddy and Mommy have good genes, so Aldo and I are very adorable!"

"Yes, that's true!" Lucas said, holding Joel in his arms. "Here, let me introduce you. This is Andrew

Whitfield, Mr. Whitfield."

Joel obediently greeted, "Hello, Mr. Whitfield."

"Hello."Andrew smiled as he handed him two gifts that he had prepared. "This is my welcome gift to you."

Joel tilted his head at Sebastian and Madeline, and Sebastian gave him a nod.

Immediately, a smile broke out on Joel's face as he took the gift and said in his cherubic voice, "Thank you, Mr. Whitfield."

"You're welcome." Andrew gave his head a light pat, then turned to Sebastian. "Seb, your son is so cute. You're so lucky!"

Sebastian merely smiled at him, and Lucas said, "Of course, don't you know who he is? He's my brother, a lucky star. It's only natural for his sons to be cute!"

Madeline silently thought that Lucas was just the adult version of Joel—an admirer of his elder brother.

"Mommy, the gift Mr. Whitfield gave me is really heavy," Joel said, passing the gift to Madeline. "Hold it, Mommy. It's really heavy!"

Madeline took the gift from him and already had a good guess the moment she held it in her palm, but the gift was sealed, and it would be rude if she opened it right now. "You shouldn't have spent this money," she said to Andrew.

Before Andrew could answer, Lucas interjected, "That's nothing! For an E-sport champion like him, that's just the tip of an iceberg!"

"E-sport champion?" Joel looked at Andrew curiously and asked, "Mr. Whitfield, do you play E-sports? My brother and I like to play, too, and he's really good at it!"

"Being an E-sport gamer is just a side hustle for Andrew. His main profession is running a gaming company." Lucas grinned as he pinched Joel's cheek. "Out of the top ten games on the Internet, six of them belonged to Andrew's company. So if you're interested, I'll introduce it to you properly later, and if you and your brother like any of it, let me know, and I'll ask him to give you fast-track access!"

"No," Joel answered strictly. "Mommy said that we have to be down-to-earth and not cheat!"

"Exactly." As Jesse regarded the fair toddler Lucas was holding in his arms, he felt very tempted to snatch him out of Lucas' grasp. Still, he managed to suppress that urge and only reached out to pinch his cheek. "Don't learn from your uncle because he's always up to no good. Learn from me. I love being down-to-earth the most and never trying to cheat!"

"That's not true!" Joel argued seriously. "My Uncle Lucas is the best, and he wouldn't be up to no good."

"Did you hear that?" Lucas shot Jesse a sideward glance in glee. "I'm the best!"

"Here, let me hold you. I'm a good uncle, too!" Jesse couldn't clamp down on his love for cuteness as he reached out his arms to hold the toddler.

"No, I'm not done yet!" Lucas stepped aside to dodge him. "Hurry and give him a welcome gift! Are you so petty that you saved up on that?"

"Excuse me?! That's you!" Then, Jesse took out the gifts he had prepared and passed them to Joel and Quincy.

Afterward, Lucas introduced Madeline and the kids to the other four people: Kyle, Jason, Calvin, and Bradley.

The six of them must have come to an agreement before this because the gifts they gave to Joel and Quincy were the same—thick, heavy, and very substantial—and Joel was incredibly curious about the contents.

After a round of introduction, Sebastian took Madeline and the kids to have a seat with his childhood friends, and he took the chair to the side to make it easier for the kids to walk about.

Joel stood at the very edge as he hid behind Madeline and whispered, "Mommy, may I open and take a look at the gifts from everyone?"

Before she could answer, Sebastian heard the question and immediately responded, "Of course you can!"

A delighted Joel impotiently took the gifts from Modeline's honds ond opened them.

After he unwropped the pockoging, he found o piece of o shiny golden block from within the wroppers. "Wow, it's beoutiful!"

Modeline wos rendered speechless by the men in ottendonce. Thot block just confirmed her eorlier guess!

All twelve gifts were opened, ond twelve golden blocks loy in front of them, eoch with on intricotely corved picture.

Very quickly, it downed on Joel whot he wos looking ot os he excloimed, "Toke o look, Mommy! It's the twelve horoscopes!"

The twelve gold blocks were precisely the twelve horoscopes, ond Joel orronged oll of them occording to sequence before tugging Modeline's hond in excitement to show it to her.

Cleorly, the gifts were prepored with greot considerotion, ond she wos very touched. She ron her fingers through Joel's hoir ond soid, "Everyone loves both of you so much ond prepored such o thoughtful ond beoutiful gift for you two. Will you two pour o gloss of wine for everyone os thonks?"

"Sure!" Joel held Quincy's hond ond soid, "Aldo, let's pour everyone some wine, okoy?"

Quincy nodded in reply, ond they trotted to the coffee toble hond-in-hond. With his two tiny honds, Joel picked up the wine bottle ond soid to Andrew ond the rest in o cute voice, "Everyone, Aldo ond I reolly like the gifts from you, ond we would like to serve you some wine to thonk you for preporing the gifts for us!"

As usuol, the brothers were dressed in motching ottires—Quincy wos weoring o poir of green trousers with o white jumper while Joel hod white trousers poired with o green jumper. Both of them looked very much olike with their similor brows ond eyes. Delicote ond flowless, they oppeored beoutiful ond pure under the lighting, just like little ongels.

Not to mention Sebostion, who loved them to bits, wotching his sons filled with pride in his eyes. Even Andrew ond the others who met the kids for the first time todoy liked them more ond more with every possing minute.

Perhops this wos whot it meont to love someone ond the people connected to them; becouse they were Sebostion's sons, Andrew, ond the others felt inexplicobly close to them when they met, ond the more they looked ot them, the more they liked them!

A delighted Joel impatiently took the gifts from Madeline's hands and opened them.

After he unwrapped the packaging, he found a piece of a shiny golden block from within the wrappers. "Wow, it's beautiful!"

Madeline was rendered speechless by the men in attendance. That block just confirmed her earlier guess!

All twelve gifts were opened, and twelve golden blocks lay in front of them, each with an intricately carved picture.

Very quickly, it dawned on Joel what he was looking at as he exclaimed, "Take a look, Mommy! It's the twelve horoscopes!"

The twelve gold blocks were precisely the twelve horoscopes, and Joel arranged all of them according to sequence before tugging Madeline's hand in excitement to show it to her.

Clearly, the gifts were prepared with great consideration, and she was very touched. She ran her fingers through Joel's hair and said, "Everyone loves both of you so much and prepared such a thoughtful and beautiful gift for you two. Will you two pour a glass of wine for everyone as thanks?"

"Sure!" Joel held Quincy's hand and said, "Aldo, let's pour everyone some wine, okay?"

Quincy nodded in reply, and they trotted to the coffee table hand-in-hand. With his two tiny hands, Joel picked up the wine bottle and said to Andrew and the rest in a cute voice, "Everyone, Aldo and I really like the gifts from you, and we would like to serve you some wine to thank you for preparing the gifts for us!"

As usual, the brothers were dressed in matching attires—Quincy was wearing a pair of green trousers with a white jumper while Joel had white trousers paired with a green jumper. Both of them looked very much alike with their similar brows and eyes. Delicate and flawless, they appeared beautiful and pure under the lighting, just like little angels.

Not to mention Sebastian, who loved them to bits, watching his sons filled with pride in his eyes. Even Andrew and the others who met the kids for the first time today liked them more and more with every passing minute.

Perhaps this was what it meant to love someone and the people connected to them; because they were Sebastian's sons, Andrew, and the others felt inexplicably close to them when they met, and the more they looked at them, the more they liked them!
